Basketball season for 2015/2016 should provide another exciting year. What should we expect from Ballard. Remember, please be constructive.

The point guard Jamil wilson is crazy good and has been groomed to be an extension of Coach Renner. They've had an all hands on deck to their approach to summer ball so far. They've got multiple threats from beyond the three point line and kids that just get after it on defense. Their bigs are football players who are physical but not exceptionally tall. It's the system... It works. They win and they expect to win. Funny to think that Waggener may be their toughest for in the 7th region. Central is well coached too- those two programs are clones this year.

Don't look past Trinity. They will be very tough. This could be Coach Szabo's best TEAM.

Until trinity learns to push the pace- their best team has left the building.

They've never been good at pushing the pace. They'd rather guard you then worry about scoring later.

Thought Ballard would win it all this year after watching them online a few games. They were extremely tough! Just goes to show it only takes one bad game to cost you the title, especially if you are dependent on 3 point shooting which they were because they had to be. Not being at all negative about the 3 point shooting, that was their strength and something they had to do to be successful in my opinion. Looking forward to watching them this year and hopefully even this summer. Is the Derek Smith going to be online this summer like it was summer before last???

I agree that Ballard should be very good. Where will the scoring come from? I know Jamil will put up 15 points per game and the inside bigs will do there share with offensive putbacks. How about the rest.

LaBradford Smiths kid Nick is a good scorer who has enjoyed a nice AAU summer. Brian Alvey logged some good minutes at the two spot last year and can fill it up- this team will have to fill some holes left from graduation last year but I expect some juniors who are really good at being active on defense to step up. Expectations are similar to last year. Who knew Jalen Perry would play so well... Hopefully someone else will step up. I think Wilson could averGe 17 PPG.
